What's the Price of Not Being Different?

Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Do what you would do even if no one is watching.

So many of us have a fear of being different. We would prefer to be like everyone else. But we cannot afford to be the same as everyone else. Not because we are better, but because the world needs what Christians have: Jesus Christ.
